our government has lied to us. they did it knowingly. our ambassador to libya isn't dead because of some film. he is dead because we failed to heed the warnings that an attack was imminent. it took the administration two weeks to acknowledge that this was a carefully planned terrorist attack. egyptian president new it and white house knew it but ours wasn't honest with it and tried to continue the official story about it that this was all about a film that insulted moe78d. real question why would the administration embarrass itself by hoisting such a whopper on us and then thinking we wouldn't find out the truth? why would they hold a memorial for the slain ambassador and not respect that his was not an accidental death from an overheated mob but was the work of cold-blooded islamic jihadists. did he wanted us to believe that the death of osama bin laden was the death of terrorism and al-qaeda? was it the same reason to this day the fort hood shooter has never been acknowledged as a terrorist? despite the fact he screamed a muslim slogan
